FAQs
What occasions is this dress best suited for?
This dress is ideal for professional events, corporate dinners, client meetings, weddings, formal daytime occasions, and other settings where a sophisticated and striking appearance is desired.
How does the linen blend fabric feel?
The fabric has a smooth, structured hand feel that holds its shape beautifully, offering a polished appearance without compromising comfort for its tailored fit.
What is the length of the midi skirt?
The midi length falls at approximately 120cm, designed to create a refined and elongating finish.
How should I care for this dress to maintain its quality?
Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric's structure and tailoring. If hand washing, use cool water and a mild detergent, and lay flat to dry. Iron on a cool setting.
Does the asymmetric detail add bulk?
The asymmetric fold detail is designed to drape sculpturally, creating an architectural effect rather than adding bulk. It is cut precisely to enhance the silhouette.
What type of undergarments are recommended?
Given the tailored fit and fabric, seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Nude or skin-toned options are best.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, like most tailored garments, this dress can be altered by a professional seamstress to achieve a perfect fit, particularly for the length or waist if needed.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels stiff or slightly creased upon arrival.
This is typical for a structured linen blend. Hang the dress for a few days, or carefully steam or iron it on a cool setting according to care instructions.
Color appears slightly different from online images.
Screen calibration can affect color representation. The actual color is a specific shade of green. Refer to product descriptions for precise color details.
Sizing feels snug at the waist or hips.
The pencil silhouette is designed for a tailored fit. Ensure measurements align with the size chart. If between sizes, consider the larger size for a more comfortable fit, or consult a tailor for minor adjustments.

Care Instructions:
- Material: Linen blend with cotton lining.
- Washing: Due to the structured fabric and tailoring, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's shape and integrity. Alternatively, a very gentle hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent may be possible, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight.
- Ironing: Use a cool to medium iron setting. Iron the dress inside out to protect the outer fabric. Steaming can also be effective for removing minor creases.
